It was dead silent in front of the Mountain of Wonders. All of them were flabbergasted, finding everything horrifying and inconceivable.

 

Nothing was more astounding than seeing the leader of a Force falling before their eyes. The person was a true Ancestral Dao Realm expert.

 

After countless years, only a small number of cultivators could reach the cultivation realm he did. He was an Ancestor who had founded a Force, but he lost his life just like that.

 

Even the people of the same level were astonished. They felt a crawling sensation on their scalps and their limbs had turned cold. It was as if someone was clenching their throats and all they could breathe in was iciness. The smell of blood and ice made it difficult for them to breathe.

 

The leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan, who had so furiously charged forward, was dead on the floor. Although his corpse was not hideous, everyone could tell how terrified he was before his death.

 

What had happened that made such an Ancestral Dao Realm expert so fearful? What did he see?

 

The other beings were frightened, wary of Gu Changge’s power and invincibility.

 

Other than beings like the Primary Hope Saintess and Ling Yuling who had gone through their Eighth Decay Tribulation, who else in the Primary Hope Civilisation could go against him?

 

Even if beings who had gone through Eighth Decay Tribulation joined forces, they might not be a match for him.

 

Many of the leaders were regretful now. After seeing the end of the Solar Heavenly Clan’s leader, they were afraid they would walk down the same path. After all, they were equally as powerful as him.

 

Before this, they had thought they had a right to exchange blows with Gu Changge. That was because Gu Changge and Chu Gucheng had gotten into a battle when they were in the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Although Chu Gucheng eventually paid a huge price, he had fended off Gu Changge.

 

They had overcome many challenges to become who they were, so they had confidence in their powers. No one would think they were inferior to Chu Gucheng.

 

What Chu Gucheng could achieve, they could do the same.

 

However, what they had seen shattered their hope and confidence. Perhaps Chu Gucheng was indeed significantly more powerful than they were. Or, perhaps Gu Changge had no intention of directly killing Chu Gucheng at that time, so he never fully utilised all his power.

 

“I shouldn’t have come here, Brother Chang Ming. You’ve dragged me into this mess.” The deputy leader of Empty Boundary Ridge, Shang Chongming, donned a dark expression. He took a look at Dao Monarch Chang Ming, who was equally shocked and terrified.

 

He only decided to come to the Primary Hope Civilisation after receiving an invitation from Dao Monarch Chang Ming. Then, he would help him get through his Love Tribulation.

 

It was because he had owed Dao Monarch Chang Ming a favour, which had a huge impact on his karmic connection. Therefore, he had to take the matter seriously. He eventually accepted the invitation.

 

Also, he had shown the Imperial Celestial Palace some respect by agreeing to sign the Primary Hope Covenant. That way, Ling Yuling would owe him a favour.

 

It was only natural that he had agreed to this matter which would bring him many benefits.

 

Nevertheless, he was surprised by the following incidents.

 

After realising the horror and invincibility of Gu Changge, he was eager to steer clear of the matter and leave. He did not care about the survival of the Primary Hope Civilisation or the outcome of the Primary Hope Covenant. He only wanted to live.

 

“He can easily kill an Ancestral Dao Realm expert, so he must be a being who has gone through his Ninth Decay Tribulation at the very least. He might even be a Last Stage expert. Is there really such a being in this era?

 

“All of you must be sick of living to affront a being who is practically unrivalled in the entire Boundless Expanse.” Shang Chongming was wary and cautious.

 

“I didn’t expect this either, Brother Chongming.” Dao Monarch Chang Ming was bitter and wary.

 

He was naturally aware of what was on Shang Chongming’s mind. If he had known the true power of the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader, he would not have interfered in this matter.

 

Now, he wasn’t just involved in this matter, but he was even one of the people who had devised the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

“Perhaps there will be a turning point.”

 

Dao Monarch Chang Ming was a quick-thinking person, so he soon came up with a solution. He turned to look at Ling Yuling as many thoughts turned over in his mind.

 

He did not know how mighty Ling Yuling was when she was at the peak of her power, but he was certain that Ling Yuling was only slightly stronger than he was now. Perhaps she had a way to temporarily challenge a being who had gone through their Ninth Decay Tribulation.

 

Unlike how terrified and astounded the others were, those from the  Heavenslayers Alliance were elated.

 

Many even shouted that Gu Changge was the most powerful person in history. Admiration and fervour were written all over their faces.

 

To people like Old Man Sai Ya and the Old Daoist Priest, Gu Changge was indeed unrivalled. No one in the Boundless Expanse would be a match for him.

 

*Boom!* The Aura of Darkness still engulfed the entire Mountain of Wonders. Corpses in the Dao Realm fell from the sky like rain just like what had happened to the leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan.

 

It was then they found out the eventuality of the people from the Solar Heavenly Clan.

 

After a few breaths of time, powerful cultivators from the Immortal Forces who had dared to challenge Gu Changge were killed.

 

All the people from the Solar Heavenly Clan, from the leader and Elders to the ordinary Disciples, lost their lives in the Mountain of Wonders.

 

In the depths of the sky, the Aura of Darkness disappeared as quickly as it had come. Gu Changge’s figure was revealed again.

 

He just hovered there with his hands behind his back. With a dispassionate expression, he swept a glance over all of them. His sleeves hung low as though he had never made a move.

 

The people from the Forces who were close to the leader of the Solar Heavenly Clan were fearful. Those leaders, while feeling their backs turning cold, did not dare to look at Gu Changge.

 

Many Elders were pale and terrified. They could only turn to look at people like Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess for help.

 

People from Bright Light Temple, Tathagata Buddha Realm, Towering Divine Cave, and the others trembled in fear as well.

 

The Master of Light whose true body was there felt a crawling sensation on his scalp. He regretted not sending only a clone to this place just like the Buddhism Master of the Tathagata Buddha Realm. He was eager to leave this dangerous place.

 

“I’ve never wanted to slaughter so many people. However, since you can’t understand my good intentions, I have no choice but to kill all of you. No one can get in my way.” Gu Changge swept an impassive glance over the people in the Mountain of Wonders. There was no emotion in his voice.

 

As that happened, these people felt cold all over their bodies and their faces turned livid. They felt suffocated as if an icy hand was clenching their necks.

 

Even Ancestral Dao Realm experts shivered in fear. The moment Gu Changge’s gaze fell upon them, it was as though a massive mountain descended.

 

“Senior, you’re the one who initiated the covenant. How can you let him kill so many innocent people now?”

 

“This Demon killed thousands of cultivators from the Solar Heavenly Clan without blinking an eye, and you did not even stop him. Are you going to watch us get killed just like this?”

 

“Senior, you have to protect us!”

 

The Elders and Disciples of many Forces were fearful as they called out to Ling Yuling in shaky voices.

 

Many leaders and ancient beings turned to glance at Ling Yuling as well.

 

There was no doubt Ling Yuling was the most powerful person among them. If she joined forces with the rest, they would stand a chance to go against Gu Changge.

 

Nevertheless, if even she chose to watch everything on the sidelines, it would be pointless for the others to collaborate.

 

Ling Yuling was conflicted deep within. If she made a move against Gu Changge, everything she had said would go down the drain. This was the outcome she did not want to see.

 

Things should not have developed this way.

 

She had intended to provide protection for all living beings in the Primary Hope Civilisation so that they could enjoy some peaceful days. She had experienced the most terrifying Black Disaster Era, so she did not want the same thing to happen in the Primary Hope Civilisation again.

 

“No, Older Sister.” Ling Yuxian was pale and anxious. Although she was protected by the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace, she was aware that her Older Sister was about to make a decision that would change everything.

 

Regardless of whether everything Ling Yuling had said was true, the outcome could be changed if she made a decision that went against her statement.

 

“Do you still expect these people who are merely ants to protect the living beings in the Boundless Expanse when all they care about are themselves?” Gu Changge’s gaze fell upon Ling Yuling.

 

The light went out of Ling Yuling’s eyes, making them look dim. She looked at the corpses of those from the Solar Heavenly Clan before shifting her attention to the people who stared at her.

 

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have a choice…”

 

She closed her eyes while feeling conflicted. When she opened her eyes again, she was full of iciness and murderous intent.

 

With a clang, rays of light appeared around her dress. Those were pieces of some ancient armour. Some parts had been corroded by a mysterious power, and some parts were stained with blood. An ancient aura and the power of Great Dao surrounded the armour.

 

The armour soon covered Ling Yuling’s curvy figure. Her face and hair were hidden and only her impassive eyes were shown.

 

“Why would you do that…” Ling Yuxian’s face was livid and she almost collapsed to the ground when she saw that. She knew that her Older Sister had made a decision.

 

Ling Yuling had made the armour. She was wearing that when dealing with the Black Disaster. After many gruesome wars, the armour became damaged and fell into some unknown Spacetime. When recuperating her power, she was also trying to retrieve the armour she had lost.

 

The moment she put on the armour, it meant that she was ready to sacrifice herself to achieve her goal.

 

Gu Changge was not surprised upon seeing that. He only ordered emotionlessly, “All of those from the Heavenslayers Alliance, obey my order and destroy everyone in the Mountain of Wonders.”

 

“Kill them!”

 

The epic battle broke out without a warning.

 

While wearing her armour, Ling Yuling extended her hand which was surrounded by rays of light. An ancient but broken Dao Sword appeared. She was like a female Sword Immortal as she led the people around her to charge forward. She was engulfed in sword shadows.

 

Her aura continued to elevate until it transcended the Ancestral Dao Realm. It had come to a point where many Ancestral Dao Realm experts would not be a match for her.

 

“She’s as powerful as a being who has gone through their Ninth Decay Tribulation. It seems that she was probably a Last Stage being when she was at the peak of her power.”

 

Ancient beings like Shang Chongming and Dao Monarch Chang Ming were astounded when they realised they had underestimated Ling Yuling’s power.

 

She was a Great Sage who had taken part in the great war against Black Disaster, so she should never be underestimated. Although she was not at the peak of her power, they would not stand a chance to harm her.

 

“Let’s follow the Senior to kill this Demon!”

 

“Kill him!”

 

After Ling Yuling made a move, the Elders and leaders from the various Forces behind her also charged forward.

 

Bright Grand Runes illuminated the sky above the Mountain of Wonders. Countless runes formed all sorts of fatal attacks as they descended upon Gu Changge.

 

Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance also made a move and clashed with the powerful enemies in front of them. All sorts of light beamed from different directions.

 

Gu Changge slashed across the air with his fingers. The entire Spacetime split into two, the surfaces as smooth as a mirror. All the attacks from the enemies were destroyed before they could reach him.

 

Ling Yuling wielded her sword while approaching Gu Changge. Sword shadows swirled around her as the rhythm of the zither sounded.

 

She seemed to have become one with the Dao Sword in her hand. Her sword was like a zither, and every note was a sword cry. As she wielded her Dao Sword, the sounds of zither turned the world upside down.

 

Dao Swords seemed to have filled every Spacetime. They were tangible, not illusory. Their powers were able to destroy everything in the world.

 

It was an inconceivable sight. The River of Time was in turmoil. Countless Dao Swords flew across Heaven and Earth before descending.

 

However, before the incalculable sword shadows she had cast could reach Gu Changge, they were absorbed into a black hole that had suddenly appeared above his head.

 

The black hole disappeared as quickly as it had appeared as though it was merely an illusion. Although Ling Yuling could not see it clearly, she felt her chest tightening. It was as though she had seen it before.

 

The leaders of the various Forces shrieked. After the fluctuation swept across them, half of their bodies were gone.

 

Gu Changge swept an emotionless glance over them. A dark and blurry light hovered above his palm.

 

Then, he flicked his fingers and a ray of light shot forward. It crossed countless Spacetimes in an instant before landing and turning into a black lotus which spurted a black mist.

 

The black mist spread in all directions, turning the entire area dark.

 

Following that, the black lotus spun around and bloomed. Nine petals appeared and covered the entire sky. The leaves carried all the principles and Dao Abilities, engulfing the sky above the Mountain of Wonders.

 

From the centre of the black lotus beamed a dark Divine Light. The immense Divinity poured down from the sky, spreading in all directions.

 

Half of all the universes and territories in the Primary Hope Civilisation trembled. Even living beings from far away could feel the destructive fluctuations.

 

Heaven, Earth, Universe, and Chaos were falling apart. It seemed that everything was coming to an end.

 

The black lotus spun and bloomed in the depths of the universe. Every petal carried a destructive aura. It was a magnificent and terrifying sight.

 

The supreme aura was accelerating the demise of everything.

 

Black winds blew towards them from a distance. Just like when butterflies spread their wings, the winds were initially weak, but they became increasingly stronger and more horrifying.

 

Mountains exploded and galaxies fell apart. Different worlds and universes were destroyed by the fluctuations as they turned into ashes and broken pieces.

 

No beings could resist this force. They were crushed and turned into blood mists.

 

The entire Mountain of Wonders was affected by the fluctuations. No light could be seen as the entire area had descended into darkness.

 

“It’s the power of the Gate of Eternity…”

 

Ling Yuling’s expression changed when she realised that. After all, she had been trapped in the dark space for a long time, so she was most familiar with its power. What was more, she used to be the owner of the Gate of Eternity for some time.
